Display PCB Database List Summary in IMS Abend Dumps

Currently the PCB Database List is displayed as continuous text that has to be scrolled through to see the status code for each DBD. The PCB Database List should be displayed showing each DBD as shown below in Use Case. In the example, the current PCB is flagged. Information about it can be selected via line commands such as the SSA or the address can be selected to view the contents of the PCB. The Use Case example is not formating well so I am attaching a file to show a better example called Database PCB Summary List.docx.

    This requirement has been addressed by providing a Summary | Detail (collapse | expand) option in the IMS information section of the interactive report.

    We have some general purpose read-PSB with more than 3 PCBs. Currently the display of IMS-info is inconvenient and should be enhanced.
